THE SECRET GARDEN A film review by Eric Walker Copyright 1993 Eric Walker
Hollywood hates children. The major studios see movies made for the entire family as quick money-makers that portray the world as sweetness and light. They also have to be simple so that kids "can understand them," with clear-cut good guys and bad guys and a happy ending where the bad guys are defeated so that the good guys can have a happy ending.  None of today's Hollywood directors seem interested in making a challenging, entertaining film that the entire family can enjoy.
So it's no surprise that the most remarkable Hollywood debut since Kenneth Branagh's HENRY V has come from Europe. Agnieszka Holland, who is best known for directing the outstanding drama EUROPA EUROPA, has come to Hollywood, and in particular to Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope Studios. She made THE SECRET GARDEN, which utterly destroys the conventions of Hollywood "family" movies. It's the most amazing feature film since THE BLACK STALLION (which also came from Zoetrope--not a coincidence?), and it's a movie likely to be remembered for years to come.
This film has everything that Hollywood movies don't: a complete lack of "good guys" and "bad guys," outstanding acting, believable, lifelike performances from all--children and adults alike--beautiful, haunting scenery, a warm, life-affirming message that everyone is good (but the message is not the least bit sickly-sweet), and a storyline that will genuinely touch your heart and soul.
Based on the classic novel of the same name, it's the story of young Mary Lennox, a spoiled young girl born to a "society" family in India--but because her parents are part of society, they have no time to give their daughter a proper upbringing.  She never even learns how to cry.
But when Mary's parents die in an earthquake, she is sent to England to live with her uncle, Lord Craven, in a huge, mysterious mansion in the English countryside called Misselthwaite.  Mary is promptly told by the head servant, Mrs. Medlock, where her place is: just as before, she is to keep to herself and be ignored, because Lord Craven refuses to see her.
But Mary is a stubborn, feisty spirit, and she will not allow herself to be stifled. It isn't long before she's out and about, roaming the castle and the land around it, discovering the secrets of why Misselthwaite came to be such a desolate place. She soon unlocks the door to the heart of the mystery: a garden, hidden away and untended for ten years, visited by no one except the animals. This garden is not dead, however--underneath the weeds and the neglected growths, there is life waiting to emerge and grow once again.
Here's where the film's message makes itself clear: love and caring will heal the deepest wounds and cause flowers to burst forth from the most barren ground--even the cold, lonely hearts of Mrs. Medlock and Lord Craven himself. It's all told in an utterly believable, careful fashion, so that we are never once hit over the head by the message and we look at it as gooey Hollywood sap.
As she breaks down the rigid order of things at Misselwaite and allows life to enter the manor once again, Mary makes some friends at last: the young, naive farmboy Dickon, who loves the animals and knows how to care for the garden; and the pale, sickly Colin Craven, a young boy who represents the stifling effect of the manor. He's been bedridden for ten years, tended by doctors and the well-meaning servants, but what he really needs is love to bring him back to health. That's what all the residents of Misselthwaite need, and Mary causes them all to sprout and reach for the sun once again.
Much of the credit for the film's success goes to director Holland, who is not afraid to use darkness to make us appreciate the light. We feel the ominous presence of Lord Craven's curse throughout the entire film; it's there, behind every corner, waiting for the chance to strike us down. It's a far cry from the cheap, treacly-sweet world of Hollywood kiddie movies, where you can't even say the word "death" for fear of upsetting the children in the audience. Its thesis darkness that gives this film its resonance, letting us feel for Mary and her friends.
Animals are used as metaphors for the re-birth of life: a robin leads Mary to the garden, it raises a family, and more and more animals appear (squirrels, woodchucks, deer, lambs) as the garden is re-born. It's been said that you should never appear in the same scene with animals, because they steal away all of the attention, but that's not true here. They play their part as well as the actors, appearing on the sidelines and making us smile, but never milking our sympathies so that we say "aww, cute!" There's no "cute" here, but there is great beauty. The film exults in the joys of Nature, and we revel in it.
This story seems obvious as I type it down, but on the screen the elements blend together so beautifully--the darkness, the acting, the scenery, the story--that not once did I ever think it was predictable. I found tears welling my eyes from the film's pure joy, and my heart was stirred. As the film moved towards its end, I found myself thinking and even praying that there would be a happy ending. I cared for the characters so much that I did not want to see a tragedy, such as death, put in to add cheap drama and make s cry.
Suffice to say, the film does not descend to the level of crass manipulation. It never falters, from the first frame to the last.
And here is where I have to report the bad news: it seems doubtful that THE SECRET GARDEN will be seen by many of the people it was made for. This is a G-rated movie--an endangered species in Hollywood--because it contains no violence. It is not animated. It has no action scenes, no special effects (except for a scene where the garden springs to life over the course of several weeks), and the audience Hollywood caters to above all others--teenagers--will probably find the movie boring because of this. As a result, Hollywood decides to promote ridiculously moronic comedies like THE CONEHEADS and SON-IN-LAW as "family" entertainment. Warner Bros., the studio releasing THE SECRET GARDEN, is promoting FREE WILLY as the "family movie of the summer!" They don't realize what a treasure they have here. In the Boston area, this movie is only appearing at one single theater (the Copley Place mall), while the mean-spirited and cruel DENNIS THE MENACE was released to nearly two thousand theaters across the country.
Therefore, I urge you: go and see THE SECRET GARDEN now, before it's too late. It's an experience you won't forget. You will be delighted, entertained, moved, and you will leave the theater with a smile on your face and joy in your heart.
This film is a true garden of earthly delights.

FASTA file format
Crux searches protein sequence databases given in FASTA format. The format is very simple. Every entry consists of a sequence identifier (ID), an optional comment (COMMENT), and a sequence (SEQUENCE). The format looks like this:
>ID COMMENT SEQUENCEThe special character ">" marks the beginning of a new sequence. The ">" character is followed immediately by the sequence identifier. The rest of that line is occupied by the optional comment. Subsequent lines contain the sequence itself.
Some rules about representing sequences:
- A single protein sequence can span multiple lines. The > character occurring at the beginning of the line indicates the end of the sequence.
- Case doesn't matter. Crux Suite converts everything to uppercase.
- White space (spaces and newlines) within the sequence are ignored.
- Characters should be from the amino acid alphabet, which contains twenty characters for amino acids ("ACDEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY") and is augmented by four more ambiguous characters ("BUXZ"):
A alanine P proline B aspartate or asparagine Q glutamine C cystine R arginine D aspartate S serine E glutamate T threonine F phenylalanine U any G glycine V valine H histidine W tryptophan I isoleucine Y tyrosine K lysine Z glutamate or glutamine L leucine X any M methionine N asparagineHere is an example of three sequences in FASTA format.

[1] The meaning of "removal" is somewhat subtle. Remove_if does not destroy any iterators, and does not change the distance between first and last. (There's no way that it could do anything of the sort.) So, for example, if V is a vector, remove_if(V.begin(), V.end(), pred) does not change V.size(): V will contain just as many elements as it did before. Remove_if returns an iterator that points to the end of the resulting range after elements have been removed from it; it follows that the elements after that iterator are of no interest, and may be discarded. If you are removing elements from a Sequence, you may simply erase them. That is, a reasonable way of removing elements from a Sequence is S.erase(remove_if(S.begin(), S.end(), pred), S.end()).

Mat wanted a quiet ride to Ebou Dar, and he got one, in a way. But traveling with six women, four of them Aes Sedai, he had plenty of irritations.
They reached the distant forest that first day with the sun still fairly well up in the sky, and rode several hours beneath a high canopy of mostly bare branches, with dead leaves and dry branches crunching under the horses’ hooves, until making camp near a dwindling stream just before sunset. Lantern-jawed Harnan, the file leader with the hawk tattooed on his cheek, saw to getting the troopers from the Band settled, the horses curried and hobbled, sentries set and fires lit. Nerim and Lopin bustled about moaning over not having brought tents, and how was a man to know they would be spending nights on the ground when his master said nothing, and if his master caught his death of something, it was not his fault. Skinny and stout, they managed to sound like echoes. Vanin took care of himself, of course, though he did keep an eye on Olver and even curried the parts of Wind that the boy could not reach even using his saddle for a stool. Everybody took care of Olver.
The women shared the camp, but in a way their area was as separate as if it had been fifty paces away. An invisible line seemed to split the campsite in half, with invisible signs telling the troopers not to cross. Nynaeve and Elayne and the two white-haired women gathered around their own fire with Aviendha and the golden-haired Hunter, rarely even glancing toward where Mat and his men were laying out their blankets. The murmured conversation Mat heard, as much as he could make out, had to do with Vandene and Adeleas’ concern that Aviendha meant to lead her horse all the way to Ebou Dar instead of riding. Thom tried to get a word in with Elayne and received an absent pat on the cheek, of all things, before he was sent back to sit with Juilin and Jaem, the stringy old Warder, who belonged to Vandene and seemed to spend all of his time sharpening his sword.
Mat had no objection to the women staying apart. A tension he could not understand hung around them. At least, it did around Nynaeve and Elayne, and the Hunter seemed to be infected too. They sometimes stared at the Aes Sedai—the other Aes Sedai; he was not sure he would ever become used to thinking of Nynaeve and Elayne that way—a bit too intently, though Vandene and Adeleas appeared as oblivious as Aviendha. Whatever the reason, Mat wanted no part of it. It smelled like an argument burning to leap out, and whether it burst into flame or smoldered underground, a wise man stepped wide of women’s arguments. Medallion or no medallion, a wise man stepped very wide if the women were Aes Sedai.
A small irritant that, and so was the next, which was his own fault. Food. The smell of lamb and some sort of soup quickly wafted from the Aes Sedai’s fire. Expecting a quick arrival in Ebou Dar, he had said nothing about food to Vanin and the others, which meant they had a little dried meat and hard cakes of flatbread in their saddlebags. Mat had seen hardly a bird or squirrel, let alone sign of a deer, so hunting was out of the question. When Nerim set up a small folding table and stool for Mat—Lopin was putting up another for Nalesean—Mat told him to share out what he had tucked away in the packhorses’ panniers. The result was not as good as he hoped.
Nerim stood by Mat’s table, pouring water from a silver pitcher as if it were wine and mournfully watching delicacies vanish down the trooper’s gullets. “Pickled quail eggs, my Lord,” he would announce in a funereal tone. “They would have gone very well for my Lord’s breakfast in Ebou Dar.” And, “The best smoked tongue, my Lord. If my Lord only knew what I went through to find honey-smoked tongue in that wretched village, with no time to find anything and all the best taken by the Aes Sedai.” Actually, his biggest grievance seemed to be that Lopin had found potted larks for Nalesean. Every time Nalesean crunched one between his teeth, Lopin’s smug smile grew wider and Nerim’s face grew longer. For that matter, it was plain from the way some of the men sniffed the air that they would rather have had a slice of lamb and a bowl of soup than any amount of honey-smoked tongue or goose-liver pudding. Olver stared at the women’s fire with open wistfulness.
“You want to eat with them?” Mat asked him. “It’s all right, if you do.”
“I like kippered eel,” Olver said stoutly. In a darker tone, he added, “Anyway, she might put something in it.” His eyes followed Aviendha every time she shifted, and he seemed to have taken against the Hunter too, perhaps because she spent a good bit of time in obviously friendly chat with the Aiel woman. Aviendha at least must have felt the boy’s stare, because she glanced at him and frowned.
Wiping his chin and eyeing the Aes Sedai’s fire—come to think of it, he would rather have had lamb and soup himself—Mat noticed that Jaem was missing. Vanin grumped about being sent out again, but Mat sent him for the same reason he had had the man scout ahead during the day despite the fact that Jaem did too. He did not want to rely on what the Aes Sedai chose to tell him. He might have trusted Nynaeve—he did not think she would actually lie to him; as Wisdom, Nynaeve had always been death on anyone lying—but she kept peeping at him past Adeleas’ shoulder in a very suspicious way.
To his surprise, Elayne rose as soon as she finished eating and came gliding across that invisible line. Some women just seemed to skim over the ground. “Will you walk aside with me, Master Cauthon?” she asked coolly. Not polite, exactly, but not exactly rude either.
He motioned her to lead the way, and she floated out into the moon-shadowed trees beyond the sentries. That golden hair nestled about her shoulders, framing a face to make any man stare, and the moonlight softened her arrogance. If she had been anything but what she was . . . and he did not mean just Aes Sedai, nor even that she belonged to Rand. Rand did seem to be tangling himself with the worst sort of woman for a man who had always known how to handle them. Then Elayne began talking, and he forgot everything else.
“You have a ter’angreal,” she said without preamble, and without looking at him. She just glided along, rustling the leaves on the ground, as if she expected him to heel like a hunting hound. “Some hold that ter’angreal are rightfully the property of Aes Sedai, but I do not require you to surrender it. No one will take it from you. Such things need study, however. For that reason, I want you to give the ter’angreal to me each evening when we stop. I will return it each morning before we start out.”
Mat gave her a sidelong look. She was serious, no doubt about it. “That’s very kind of you, letting me keep what’s mine. Only, what makes you think I have one of these . . . what did you call it? A ter-something?”
Oh, she did stiffen up at that, and looked at him too. He was surprised not to see fire leap from her eyes to light up the night. Her voice, on the other hand, was purest crystal ice. “You know very well what a ter’angreal is, Master Cauthon. I heard Moiraine speak of them to you in the Stone of Tear.”
“The Stone?” he said blandly. “Yes, I remember the Stone. A fine time we all had there. Do you remember something in the Stone that gives you a right to make demands of me? I don’t. I am just here to keep you and Nynaeve from getting holes poked in your hides in Ebou Dar. You can ask Rand about ter’angreal after I deliver you to him.”
For a long moment she stared at him as though meaning to beat him down by force of will, then turned on her heel without another word. He followed her back to the camp and was surprised to see her walk along the line of hobbled horses. She examined the fires and how the blankets were laid out, shook her head over the remains of the troopers’ meal. He had no idea what she was about until she returned to him with her chin raised.
“Your men have done very well, Master Cauthon,” she said, loud enough for everyone to hear. “In general I am more than satisfied. But if you had planned ahead properly, they would not have had to gorge themselves on foods that will at the very least keep them awake tonight. Still, on the whole, you have done well. I’m sure you will think ahead in future.” Cool as you please she strode back to her own fire before he could say a word, leaving him staring.
 Right after Elayne’s “inspection,” before he could even reach his blankets, the foxhead went cold.
He was so shocked that he stood there staring down at his chest before he even thought to look toward the Aes Sedai’s fire. There they stood in a row along that unseen dividing line, Aviendha as well. Elayne murmured something he could not make out and the two white-haired Aes Sedai nodded, Adeleas all the while hastily dipping a pen in an inkjar in a sort of scabbard at her belt and jotting notes in a small book. Nynaeve was tugging her braid and muttering to herself.
It only lasted a few moments altogether. Then the chill faded, and they returned to their fire talking softly among themselves. Now and then one of them would glance in his direction until he finally bedded himself down.
The second day they joined a road, and Jaem put his color-shifting cloak away. It was a broad stretch of hard-packed dirt where sometimes an edge of old paving stone still showed, but the highway did not make travel that much faster. For one thing, it curved through increasingly hilly forest. Some of those hills deserved the name of small mountain at least, jagged things with sheer cliffs and stony spires sticking up through the trees. For another, a thin yet steady stream of people drifted in both directions, mostly clumps of grubby blank-faced folk who barely seemed to have sense to step out of the way of a farmer’s high-wheeled ox-cart, much less a merchant’s train with its canvas-topped wagons clipping along behind teams of six or eight horses. Farmhouses and barns of pale stone appeared clinging to the slopes of the hills, and midway through the third day, they saw the first village of white-plastered buildings with flat roofs of pale reddish tile.
The pinpricks kept up, though. Elayne continued her evening inspections. When he told her sarcastically that he was glad she was pleased, in the second night’s camp beside the road, she smiled one of those deliberate regal smiles and said, “You should be, Master Cauthon,” sounding as if he had meant every word!
Once they began stopping at inns, she inspected the horses in the stables and the troopers’ sleeping places in the lofts. Asking her not to brought a coolly arched eyebrow and no answer. Telling her not to brought not even the eyebrow; she just plain ignored him altogether. She told him to do things he had already decided to do—such as having all the horses’ shoes checked at the first inn that had a farrier—and, more grating, things he would have seen to had he known of them before her. How she discovered Tad Kandel was trying to hide a boil on his bottom, Mat did not know, or that Lawdrin Mendair had no fewer than five flasks of brandy secreted in his saddlebags. Irritating did not begin to describe doing a thing after she told him to, but Kandel’s boil had to be lanced—some of the Band had adopted Mat’s attitude toward being Healed—and Mendair’s brandy poured out, and a dozen things more.
Mat almost prayed for her to tell him to do something that did not need doing, just once, so he could tell her no. Emphatically, absolutely, no! Another demand for the ter’angreal would have been perfect, but she never mentioned it again. He explained to the troopers that they had no obligation to obey her, and he never actually caught one at it, but they began grinning in a pleased way at her compliments on how well they cared for their horses and puffed out their chests when she told them they looked like good soldiers to her. The day Mat saw Vanin knuckle his forehead to her, heard him murmur, “Thank you, my Lady,” without a trace of irony, that day Mat nearly swallowed his tongue.
He tried to be pleasant, but none of the women were having any, not just Elayne. Aviendha told him that he had no honor, of all things, and if he could not show more respect to Elayne, she herself would undertake to teach him respect. Aviendha! The woman he still suspected was waiting her chance to slit Elayne’s throat! She called Elayne her near-sister! Vandene and Adeleas peered at him as if he were a strange bug pinned to a board. He offered to shoot with the Hunter for coin or the fun of it—the bow she carried must have fevered her imagination; her name as a Hunter was Birgitte—but she just gave him a very odd look and declined. For that matter, she stayed clear of him after that. She stuck to Elayne’s side like a burr except when Elayne came near him. And Nynaeve . . .
All the way from Salidar she avoided him as if he smelled bad. Their third night on the way, the first at an inn, a little place called The Marriage Knife, Mat saw her in the tile-roofed stable feeding a wizened carrot to her plump mare and decided that whatever else was going on, he could at least talk to her about Bode. It was not every day a man’s sister went off to become Aes Sedai, and Nynaeve would know what Bode was facing. “Nynaeve,” he said, striding toward her, “I want to talk to you—” He got no further.
She practically leaped straight up in the air, and came down shaking a fist at him, though she immediately hid it in a fold of her skirts. “You leave me alone, Mat Cauthon,” she all but shouted. “Do you hear me? You leave me alone!”  After that, he not only smelled bad, he had some sickness that was both loathsome and catching. If he so much as tried to come near her, she hid behind Elayne and glared at him past the other woman’s shoulder for all the world as if she was about to stick her tongue out at him. Women were plain mad; that was all.
At least Thom and Juilin were willing to ride alongside him during the day, whenever Elayne did not demand their attention. She did sometimes, just to keep them away from him, he was sure, though he could not fathom the why. Once they found inns, the pair were more than happy to share a mug of ale or punch with him and Nalesean of an evening. They were country common rooms, brick-walled and quiet, where watching a brindle cat was the entertainment and the innkeeper herself served table, inevitably a woman with hips that looked as though a man’s fingers might break trying a pinch. The talk was of Ebou Dar mainly, of which Thom knew a good deal despite never having been there. Nalesean was more than willing to recount his one visit there as often as asked, though he wanted to focus on duels he had seen and the gambling on horse races. Juilin had stories from men who knew men who had been there, if not three or four removed, that sounded beyond belief until Thom or Nalesean confirmed them. Men fought duels over women in Ebou bar, and women over men, and in both cases the prize—that was the word used—agreed to go with the winner. Men gave women a knife when they married, asking her to use it to kill him if he displeased her— displeased her!—and a woman killing a man was considered justified unless it was proven differently.  Elayne would love it. So would Nynaeve.
Something else came out in those talks. Mat had not imagined Nynaeve and Elayne’s displeasure at Vandene and Adeleas, however they tried to hide it. Nynaeve apparently contented herself with glaring and mumbling under her breath. Elayne did not frown or mutter, but she did continually try to take charge; she seemed to think she was already Queen of Andor. However many years those Aes Sedai faces hid, Vandene and Adeleas had to be old enough to be the younger women’s mothers if not grandmothers. Mat would not have been surprised to learn they were Aes Sedai when Nynaeve and Elayne were born. Even Thom could not fathom the tension, and he did seem to comprehend a great many things for a simple gleeman. Elayne had snapped Thom’s nose off and told him he did not understand, and could not, when he tried to remonstrate with her gently. It seemed the two older Aes Sedai were remarkably tolerant. Adeleas often did not appear to register the fact when Elayne gave orders, and both she and Vandene seemed surprised when they did notice.
“Vandene said, ‘Well, if you really want to, child, of course we will,’ ” Juilin muttered into his ale, recounting one incident. “You would think somebody who was only Accepted just a few days ago would be pleased. Elayne’s eyes minded me of a winter storm. Nynaeve ground her teeth so hard, I thought they’d crack.”
They were in the common room of The Marriage Knife. Vanin and Harnan and others occupied benches at other tables, together with a number of locals. The men were in long vests, some bright enough for a Tinker and often with no shirt, the women in pale dresses with deep narrow necklines, their skirts gathered up to the knee on one side to expose petticoats colorful enough to make the vests fade. Many of the men and all of the women wore large hoop earrings, and on their hands usually three or four rings sparkling with colored glass. Men and women alike fingered long curved knives stuck through their belts and eyed the strangers darkly. There were two merchant’s trains from Amadicia stopped at The Marriage Knife, but the merchants had eaten in their rooms, and their drivers remained with the wagons. Elayne and Nynaeve and the rest of the women were upstairs too.
“Women are . . . different,” Nalesean said, laughing, in response to Juilin, though he directed the words at Mat, fingering the point of his beard. He was not usually so stiff with commoners, but Juilin was a Tairen commoner, and that seemed to make a difference, especially since Juilin made a point of staring when he spoke to him. “There’s a peasant saying in Tear. ‘An Aes Sedai is ten women in one skin.’ Peasants have a good bit of wisdom sometimes, burn my soul if they don’t.”
“At least no one has done anything, shall we say, drastic,” Thom said, “though I thought it was close when Elayne let slip that she had made Birgitte her first Warder.”
“The Hunter?” Mat exclaimed. Several of the locals looked at him hard, and he lowered his voice. “She’s a Warder as well? Elayne’s Warder?” That certainly explained a few things.
Thom and Juilin exchanged looks over the rims of their mugs.
“She will be gratified to know you puzzled out that she is a Hunter for the Horn,” Thom said, wiping ale from his mustaches. “Yes, she is, and a rig

Sugar, fish sauce and chillies make a sweet, salty and spicy sauce that’s perfect for drizzling over chicken wings.
For the chicken wings, in a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and all but 1 tsp of the salt. Add the chicken and stir well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 24 hours.
For the salad, put the watermelon in a large bowl, cover and chill in the fridge for 3 hours.
Meanwhile, gently simmer all the sticky chilli sauce ingredients with 1 tablespoon water in a saucepan over a low heat for 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
For the salad dressing, put the palm sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, garlic and Thai red chilli together in a food processor and blend until smooth. Mix with the cold watermelon in a very cold bowl, then fold in the herbs and peanuts.
Mix together the flours, black pepper and the remaining salt in a large bowl. Thoroughly coat the chicken in the seasoned flour ready for frying.
Heat the deep-fat fryer to 180C. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.). Fry the wings in batches for 7 minutes.until cooked through, golden brown and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper and set aside to cool slightly. Coat the wings in the sticky chilli sauce.
Mix together all the garnish ingredients. Pile the chicken wings into a serving bowl, sit the fried egg on top, and serve with the salad, garnished with the herb and spice mixture.


Hello everyone! In this website, I will breakdown the career of Novak Djokovic, the 34 year old Serbian tennis player, widely considered to be one of, if not the greatest tennis players in the history of the sport
Each era of Djokovic's career can be defined by his clothing sponsors: he started out with Addidas when he was just a teenager, began to realize his potential with Sergio Tacchini, reached his prime with Uniqlo, and is now in the twilight of his career with Lacoste. Click on the links at the top of the page to navigate through the different stages of Djokovic's career.
Below is a table of Djokovic's recent years on tours and the success he's had in those years, and his overall Grand Slam tally
| 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Slams | 0 Slams | 2 Slam | 2 Slams | 1 Slams | 3 Slam |

A server on a host holding a website to the cloud so that it can be accessed
It appears you would like to learn how to program a computer. To do this, a great first step is to get a website up and running. This is not very hard and you can do it very quickly. Let's get started by using Namecheap to buy a domain and a website like this one.  Heres a doc on setting up the hosting if you cant figure out how to check the box that says "give me hosting" and later click a link in an email and copy/paste your username and password they make for you. Once this happens, the magic can begin.

To begin, lets explain domains and hosting.
A domain is an area or territory controller by a ruler or government.
In the case of `computering.info` I am the president of computering information and own its ranges (and its growing data lake -- which borders canada but I have total maritime annexation of).
In the case of your domain, it will be quite similar.
What is hosting?Hosting is where in this dance, someone holds your server up into the cloud. Usually on a very very tall platform in a remote area.
Now these are two new terms: `server` and `cloud`.
Since wages have become so low in the service industry, servers have taken to other work on the side at hours most people do not dine. This has resulted in them forming a cottage industry of holding thumbdrives containing websites into the cloud at very dangerous, high distances to make ends meet. The cloud is _an actual cloud_.
So now that we have (through Namecheap's middleman-work) contracted a server to hold a thumb drive up to the cloud so that we can have a website, we can thnik about the document on the thumbdrive that will eventually be given to the server we will give to Namecheap later to hand off for us.

English Country Dance Basics
English country dances are “set dances,” meaning that rather than two partners dancing only with each other (as in ballroom dance), the partners form “sets” of various numbers and configurations, and couples in the set interact with each other. Some dances are for just two couples, while others are for as many as want to join. Some are configured in lines, some in circles, and some in squares.
Wherever the musicians stand is considered the top of the hall. The couple closest to them is the “top couple.” In a square configuration, this would make the couple opposite them the “bottom couple,” and the others “side couples."
A caller calls out which moves to perform. While dances often have moves that are unique to them, there is a standard repertoire of moves that show up in many dances. Here are some of the most common.
Set and Turn
Here’s a basic move that shows up in many, many English country dances. Take one step to the right, then two in place, then one step to the left, then two in place, then walk four steps in a small clockwise circle.
Sometimes the call will be merely to “set,” which is just the first half of this move. Sometimes the call will be merely to “turn single,” which is the second half of this move. Usually, the two happen together.
Siding
Starting on your right foot, change places with your partner, then walk back on the same path to return home. (When coming back to your home position, you would traditionally begin that part of the move with your left foot, but some modern dancers use their right.) Note that you’re not walking a circular path. Instead, you come back on the same “track” you took to swap places.
Arming
The actual call for this move will be “Arm right” or “Arm left,” but you’ll usually do them both: first arm right, then arm left. If the caller simply says “Arming,” then this means to do them both. The move itself is very simple: Hook elbows with your partner and walk once around, then return home.


public interface DatabaseNamer
Each PrimaryIndex
and SecondaryIndex
is represented
internally as a Berkeley DB Database
. The file names of primary and
secondary indices must be unique within the environment, so that each index
is stored in a separate database file.
By default, the file names of primary and secondary databases are defined as follows.
The syntax of a primary index database file name is:
STORE_NAME-ENTITY_CLASS
Where STORE_NAME is the name parameter passed to EntityStore
and ENTITY_CLASS is name of the class
passed to getPrimaryIndex
.
The syntax of a secondary index database file name is:
STORE_NAME-ENTITY_CLASS-KEY_NAME
Where KEY_NAME is the secondary key name passed to getSecondaryIndex
.
The default naming described above is implemented by the built-in DEFAULT
object. An application may supply a custom DatabaseNamer
to overrride the default naming scheme. For example, a
custom namer could place all database files in a subdirectory with the name
of the store. A custom namer could also be used to name files according to
specific file system restrictions.
The custom namer object must be an instance of the DatabaseNamer
interface and is configured using setDatabaseNamer
.
When copying or removing all databases in a store, there is one further consideration. There are two internal databases that must be kept with the other databases in the store in order for the store to be used. These contain the data formats and sequences for the store. Their entity class names are:
com.sleepycat.persist.formats
com.sleepycat.persist.sequences
With default database naming, databases with the following names will be present each store.
STORE_NAME-com.sleepycat.persist.formats
STORE_NAME-com.sleepycat.persist.sequences
These databases must normally be included with copies of other databases in the store. They should not be modified by the application.
| Modifier and Type | Field and Description |
|---|---|
static DatabaseNamer |
DEFAULT
The default database namer.

| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
java.lang.String |
getFileName(java.lang.String storeName,
java.lang.String entityClassName,
java.lang.String keyName)

given store, entity class and key.
|
static final DatabaseNamer DEFAULT
The getFileName
method of this namer returns the
storeName
, entityClassName
and keyName
parameters as follows:
if (keyName != null) { return storeName + '-' + entityClassName + '-' + keyName; } else { return storeName + '-' + entityClassName; }
java.lang.String getFileName(java.lang.String storeName, java.lang.String entityClassName, java.lang.String keyName)
storeName
- the name of the EntityStore
.entityClassName
- the complete name of the entity class for a
primary or secondary index.keyName
- the key name identifying a secondary index, or null for
a primary index.Copyright (c) 1996, 2016 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Easy puzzle, you have a list of values and are looking for the biggest loss possible, i.e the biggest difference between a high value, and a low value which follows it in the list. For this you just have to compute the difference between the current value and the maximum value read yet, and search for the biggest difference.
Note the usage of strtok and atoi to read all the integer values contained in a string.
#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <limits.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { // number of stock values int N; scanf("%d\n", &N); /* as each stock value is under 2^31 which is roughly 4*10^9, 15 chars per value is largely enough*/ char line[15*N]; fgets(line,15*N,stdin); /* currentMax and currentMin will store the local minimum and maximum stock values, maxLoss will store the maximum loss found yet */ int stockValue, maxLoss, currentMax, currentMin; maxLoss = currentMax = 0; currentMin = INT_MAX; // Uses strtok to read all the stock values char *tok; tok = strtok(line," "); for (int i = 0 ; i < N ; i++) { stockValue = atoi(tok); if (stockValue > currentMax) { if (currentMax-currentMin > maxLoss) maxLoss = currentMax-currentMin; currentMax = currentMin = stockValue; } else if (stockValue < currentMin) currentMin = stockValue; tok = strtok(NULL," "); } if (currentMax-currentMin > maxLoss) maxLoss = currentMax-currentMin; printf("%d\n",-maxLoss); return EXIT_SUCCESS; }

For the fig-swirl: Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Add brown suger and stir to dissolve. Halve all ofthe figsand toss in the saucepan with water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until you have a chunky-jammy mixture. Add saly with one or two stirs, set aside and let cool completely.
Ice cream: In a small pot over medium heat, combine milk, and granulated suger until suger is completely dissolved and the milk is just barely lukewarm. Whisk in the egg yolks. Set mixture in the fridge and wait until the fig mixture is cooled.
Using an ice cream machine, pour liquids into the frozen basin and process according to manufacturer instructions,i.e., let spin and thicken for 20 minutes before adding mascarpone, fig jam mixture, and the nuts. Continue to process for +/- 10 minutes. Pour semi-frozen mixture into a pyrex dish or glass tupperware. Freeze for at lease two hours before serving.

- The only project this week: dealing with my dad’s death. My brother and I saw the lawyer. We saw the funeral director. Thursday was the memorial. We’ve cleaned out his apartment at the nursing home. We’ve started cleaning out his house. We’ve rescheduled our flights to stay in Casper to try to resolve some more “issues.” We've seen a ton of friends and family while in Casper, and that has been wonderful. But mostly, this trip has been horrifying.
- Fred and I both got new tattoos - the same one, a loon, in honor of our dad.


Week 1 — What is a Software Defined Radio?
The term, Software Defined Radio (SDR) often gets conflated by the idea of Software Controlled Radios (SCR), which in essence are part of the control layer for an SDR but are by no means SDRs themselves. An SCR might be a radio system that is tunable or managed by software but the physical layer remains fixed in hardware. In contrast, SDRs are radios in which all or part of the physical layers (hardware) are manipulated/configured through the use of software.
In this blog post, I’ll dive into the what is meant by a “physical layer” further on but for now this is the layer that controls the modulation/demodulation, filtering, encoding, etc. of the receieved and/or transmitted signals. For example, a car radio might be controlled by software managing the frequencies of the user’s desired radio stations; this would be defined as a Software Controlled Radio.
That’s interesting but why would I need an SDR?
SDR is interesting to a number of different types of users from academic to military application and from commercial to consumer. It might surprise you to know that you likely interact with an SDR every day, your mobile/cellular phone.
Academic Research
This blog post hardly covers what can be done with SDR as every day new tools are frameworks are being published, offering open source implementations of current standards such as 802.11, ZigBee, LoRa and Bluetooth. Tools such as GNU Radio Companion when combined with lower cost wideband SDR hardware make it easier, faster and increasingly affordable for academics to explore with their research. My personal research interests relate to upcoming cellular standards for IoT and designing adaptive baseband layers on top of partially reconfigurable hardware (using a Xilinx Zynq SoC).
Hobbyist Interest
Here’s a run down on some of the interesting things you can do with SDR:
- Listen to Broadcast Radio (FM & AM)
- Set up your own HAM Radio
- Get involved with Radio Astronomy
- Track Aircraft with the Mode S Protocol
- Track Ships and other Vessels with AIS
- Build your own GSM Network
- Experiment with various other RF Protocols
- Many more!
Please note that this is a none exclusive list as this hardly scratches the surface as to what can be done with SDR!
Ok, you’ve convinced me! Where can I start learning about SDR?
Historically, SDR has had a relatively high barrier to entry for beginners as the cost point of typical open SDRs hardware and toolkits has been in the region of £1000+. Fortunately, the open source community has assembled a fantastic set of tools that support a huge variety of radios, known as GNU Radio. GNU Radio applications can be written in C++ & Python lanugages as well as assembled in flow diagram formats using a tool called the GNU Radio Companion. This toolkit is 100% and supports from the very low end of SDRs (~£20) all the way through to industry standard devices.
To get started, I’d recommend taking a look at , a $20 USB TV Tuner Dongle that can be used as a computer based radio scanner. This nifty device will let you play with a whole range of interesting SDR from simple amplitude & frequency modulation/demodulation to .

Distributed Web of Care
Announcing Lecture Performance at the Whitney Museum
by Taeyoon Choi
I’m excited to present the Distributed Web of Care project with my collaborators and stewards this month in New York City. Hope to meet you there!
Distributed Web of Care at the Whitney Museum of American Art
WED, Mar 27, 2019 7 pm
Susan and John Hess Family Gallery and Theater
This lecture-performance by Taeyoon Choi imagines a more equitable, caring Internet and asks: what kind of network do we want for the future? Choi engages in a conversation with Chancey Fleet, Jonathan Dahan, and stewards and students from the School for Poetic Computation to explore the poetics and politics of computation, the relationship between Internet privacy and collective agency, and alternative methods of communicating via peer-to-peer protocols. The discussion considers the Internet’s underlying structure and how bodily experiences of the Internet differ for disability communities and other marginalized groups. The conversation is followed by an interactive performance choreographed by Choi and Jerron Herman, accompanied by live audio from Tiri Kananuruk and stud1nt. The movements explore how it feels to be a node programmed in centralized, decentralized, and distributed networks.
ASL interpretation and audio description are available.

Once shutdown is complete, halt stops execution of the operating system. What this entails depends on the platform. On platforms with a hardware boot monitor, it normally returns to the boot monitor. On software-based platforms, such as System/161, it normally terminates the software simulation. On other platforms the system will generally wait for a keystroke on the console and then reboot.
halt will function properly even before you do any work on OS/161.


Muslim board to seek review of Ayodhya verdic, refuses to take alternative land
The five-judge Constitution bench had directed Centre to allot a five-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board in Ayodhya to build a mosque.
by PTILucknow: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) decided on Sunday that it would file a petition seeking review of the Supreme Court's judgement in the Ayodhya issue.
"The land of the mosque belongs to Allah and under Sharia law, it cannot be given to anybody," AIMPLB secretary Zafaryab Jilani told reporters after a meeting of the board here.
"The board has also categorically refused to take five-acre land in Ayodhya in lieu of the mosque. The board is of the view that there cannot be any alternative to the mosque," he added.
Settling a fractious issue that goes back more than a century, the Supreme Court, in its verdict in the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi title case on November 9, said the entire 2.77 acres of disputed land should be handed over to the deity Ram Lalla, who was one of the three litigants in the case.
The five-judge Constitution bench also directed the Centre to allot a five-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board in Ayodhya to build a mosque.

Press release
Parents trialling the government’s new special educational needs (SEN) reforms are happier than ever with the support available.
Parents of children with special educational needs ( SEN ) are happier than ever with the new support available and have much more control over the services they are receiving.
The biggest transformation to SEN support for 30 years - currently making its way through Parliament - will give children and parents greater say over their personalised care and assistance, and put in place a new birth-to-25 system for children and young people with SEN . The government has also announced a £70 million SEN reform grant which will be made available to councils as they prepare to implement these ambitious changes.
Findings from the pilots of the measures - being test-driven by over 2,000 families across 31 councils - show that:
Children and Families Minister, Edward Timpson, said:
Too many families have had to battle with a system that’s supposed to help them. This is simply unacceptable, and is why we’re transforming the system so that it meets with the needs of children and young people with SEN - from birth right up to the age of 25, where required. I’m confident that the additional £70 million we have made available to councils will help implement our comprehensive reforms, ensuring better support.
The experiences of families testing our reforms prove they are already giving families more say and greater control over the assistance they receive. With less than a year to go until the rollout of the new system, councils must now redouble their efforts to ensure all families can benefit as quickly as possible from this comprehensive support.
Our SEN reforms will bring forward a new, joined-up approach across education, health and care services from birth to 25 to ensure that support is made available at the earliest possible point, and children and young people fully involved in decisions about their care and what they want to achieve.
Through the bill, the government is:
Christine Lenehan, Director, Council for Disabled Children, said:
We are pleased to be working with government on the reforms which are already delivering better outcomes for families. We look forward to this opportunity being available to all families and looking at real integration for children with SEN and disabilities.
Mark Rogers, President, Society of Local Authority Chief Executives and Senior Managers (SOLACE) said:
As the chief executive of a pathfinder site, I know just how important it is to fully understand and implement these reforms. Councils are champions for all children, especially those with additional needs, and I take very seriously both the opportunity and responsibility that this transformation presents - particularly the chance we have to put in a place a system that serves children and families first and foremost, and puts lives before services.
The government has also extended the scope of its reforms to include disabled children and young people who do not have special educational needs - requiring councils to identify and support the needs of all disabled children and young people, not just those relating to education.
Around 1,400 families have now received the new education, health and care plans as part of the Pathfinder programme, ensuring that support for children with special education needs does not simply stop when they turn 18. The new reforms mean that support can continue up until the age of 25 for who need more time to complete their education or training, to help prepare them to lead independent lives and find places to work.

FUN AND FANCY FREE A film review by Andrew Hicks Copyright 1997 Andrew Hicks / Fatboy Productions
(1947) ** (out of four)
Disney has nearly exhausted its library of classic films. There aren't too many more old cartoon movies they can mass- market as Masterpieces You Have To Own Or Your Kids Will Never Forgive You. I think they may have finally reached the bottom of the barrel with FUN AND FANCY FREE, now being blitz advertised as a fiftieth anniversary fully-restored classic, the only feature length Disney movie featuring Mickey, Goofy, Donald Duck and Jiminy Cricket.  Disney doesn't always have a Midas touch.
FUN AND FANCY FREE is the weakest animated film they've released on video yet, a collection of four almost equally- weak elements. We'll start with the prologue. Old Jiminy, brought in for no better purpose than to cash in on name recognition from PINOCCHIO, hops around an empty room, singing a song about how happy he is. The feeling isn't contagious as he talks straight to us and then pops out a record called "Bongo, a musical story by Dinah Shore." We yell to the screen, begging him not to put it on, but of course he does and we have to watch the first half-hour cartoon.
It's "Bongo," the story of a circus bear who is oppressed by his master and has no friends until he finds out he can fly with the help of a magic feather... well, no, it's not a complete DUMBO ripoff, because Bongo's instrument of redemption is his imagination. He dreams of freedom, of the day when he'll star in an original cartoon, and suddenly his cage is open. He wanders out into the open, eager to be one with nature, but this domesticated circus bear is terrorized by thunder, wild animals and the like.
Redemption is nigh for young Bongo, though, the same redemption dealt his rhyming-name counterpart Pongo from ONE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIONS -- he meets a woman. Bongo falls in love, as do all cartoon animals sooner or later, and in the predictable fashion, must fight off a bigger, jealous rival. But in the end happiness triumphs, and we get a failed song-and-dance number about how bears display their love by smacking their partners. Bears and Ike Turner.
Dinah Shore is narrating the whole time, by the way, in the same fashion as Bing Crosby's "Legend of Sleepy Hollow." That was one of the cardinal sins Disney perpetrated in the late '40s and early '50s, hinging on certain pop stars as the lone vocal contributors in animated featurettes of 30 minutes or less. It takes away the timeless quality; I mean, if Disney commissioned the Spice Girls to narrate and perform in a cartoon retelling of some classic story, where would that leave viewers watching 50 years down the road?
The same problem is inherent to "Mickey and the Beanstalk," which I remembered as being really entertaining. It wasn't, and we can thank Edgar Bergen for that. After Jiminy puts the "Bongo" record away, he heads across the way to Bergan's party, where Bergan entertains two ventriloquist's dummies and a little girl in pajamas who looks like she really, _really_ wants to go to sleep. Soon, so do we. Believe me, this is one party that could definitely use some booze.
He begins telling them the story of "Mickey and the Beanstalk," where three poor farmers (Mickey, Donald and Goofy) are at the end of their rope, with no food but one slice of bread and a kidney bean. I remembered fondly the scene with Mickey slicing the bean into almost-transparent slices, with Donald finally snapping and making a sandwich out of two plates and a glass, with Mickey selling their cow for some magic beans and Donald getting even madder and throwing the beans into a hole in the floor.
I remembered the beanstalk growing through the night, taking the sleeping farmers with them to the clouds, where the giant lives.  What I didn't remember was that Bergan and his wise-cracking ventriloquists intruded into the story every few seconds with comments of their own. Maybe the version of "Mickey and the Beanstalk" I saw all those years ago had those exchanges wisely edited out.
Without the constant intrusions by Bergan and his party goers, the last 30 minutes of FUN AND FANCY FREE would be very entertaining, even if the giant is so cartoonishly dumb that he's annoying. With all that narration, though, we're constantly reminded we're watching a cartoon. The appeal of the good Disney films is that we can enter this animated world and feel a part of it. Bergan distances us from the magical world by reducing it to a bedtime tale, and consequently destroys what would have been the only good thing about FUN AND FANCY FREE. "Bongo" would have sucked no matter what. This is no masterpiece.

Ivy uses a new instruction set
Runtime is based on incremental DOM
Why incremental DOM?
- The incremental nature allows for significantly reduced memory allocation during render passes, allowing for more predictable performance.
- It easily maps to template based approaches. Control statements and loops can be mixed freely with element and attribute declarations.

This was cribbed from the nicred documentation which also uses superalign.
superalign operates in a very tree-like fashion:
superalign uses a variant on the similar triangle method to determine the alignment between two individual catalogs (see TryAlignment routine in simplealign.c). However, instead of attempting to find similar triangles in both images, superalign attempts to find similar bi-directional vectors (object pairs with the same separation and the same relative orientation). After finding similar vectors, superalign uses these vectors to determine a transformation from one catalog to the other. Each transformation is given a score based upon how well it maps objects onto each other. The transformation with the highest score is then adopted. One final set of iterations (see FindSolution routine in simplealign.c) is then attempted (starting with the transformation which had the highest score) to try to further improve the score.
After compiling with a “make superalign” command, superalign is currently invoked from the command line as follows:
superalign INPUT_SHIFTS OUTPUT_STARLIST OUTPUT_SHIFTS
The first file is the INPUT_SHIFTS file and should have the following format:
[# of exposures]
[exposure #1] [x-shift guess #1] [y-shift guess #1] [rot-angle guess #1]
[exposure #2] [x-shift guess #2] [y-shift guess #2] [rot-angle guess #2]
[exposure #3] [x-shift guess #3] [y-shift guess #3] [rot-angle guess #3]
....
The first exposure in the INPUT_SHIFTS file gives the reference image, and will define the final coordinate system. It will have an x,y shift equal to 0,0 and a rotation angle equal to 0.
The second file is the OUTPUT_STARLIST file and contains a compilation of all the objects in the final mosaic on a common grid. Following the construction of this object list, it should be trivial to perform alignments onto the common frame. The format for the file is as follows:
1 [x position #1] [y position #1] [magnitude #1]
2 [x position #2] [y position #2] [magnitude #2]
3 [x position #3] [y position #3] [magnitude #3]
.....
The third file is the OUTPUT_SHIFTS file and a list of all the determined shifts:
[exposure #1] [x-shift #1] [y-shift #1] [rot-angle #1]
[exposure #2] [x-shift #2] [y-shift #2] [rot-angle #2]
[exposure #3] [x-shift #3] [y-shift #3] [rot-angle #3]
....
For each input catalog, superalign will output a cleaned catalog. The cleaned catalog (with the same file name as the input catalog except with “.name” appended) will contain those objects superalign believes are real (from the stacking analysis it does at each position).
To demonstrate the usage of this package, an example has been provided in the “examples” directory. This directory contains a list of (distortion free) catalogs. Each catalog is contained in a “.matchin” file and corresponds to a single ACS exposure which will contribute to some final set of drizzled images.
For this example, the usage is:
superalign supermatch.in supermatch.stars supermatch.out
“supermatch.stars” will contain the final object list for the mosaic on the common grid.
“supermatch.out” will contain the derived shifts and rotations for all of the individual exposures.
To improve performance, one can change the following parameters which are part of the SuperAlignParmRec structure (change with caution!):
float TypDist; /* Typical RMS error for objects which are well aligned */
float MaxDist; /* MaxDist is equal to the distance two objects can be apart to even register as matches. Even if objects register as matches -- this does not imply they will have a huge effect on the final score. */
float TolPair; /* Objects with Neighbors Closer than TolPair pixels are thrown out (due to possible deblending problems) */
float MaxShiftErr; /* Maximum Pixel Error in X/Y Shifts */
float MaxRotErr; /* Maximum Error in Rotation Angle (Degrees) */
float GroupSize; /* Maximum Distance allowed between two pointings to be considered part of the same grouping */
Arbitrary units can be used for the x/y positions and distances throughout, but they must be consistent. Among the shifts, x/y positions which should be consistent are:
X/Y positions of objects in the catalogs (for the individual exposures)
Best guess x/y shifts given for each exposure in INPUT_SHIFTS file
- The Five Following Parameters from SuperAlignParmProp (at the end of superalign.c):
- TypDist
- MaxDist
- TolPair
- MaxShiftErr
- GroupSize


The Doxle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Beagle and the Dachshund. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
The cavalier in many ways fits the bill as an ideal house pet. He is sweet, gentle, playful, willing to please, affectionate and quiet. He is amiable toward other dogs, pets and strangers. Outdoors, his spaniel heritage kicks in, and he loves to explore, sniff and chase.
The cavalier needs a fair amount of exercise every day, either in the form of a moderate walk on leash or a romp in a safe area. This is not a breed that should live outdoors. His long coat needs brushing every other day.
If an aloof, independent cat is what you're craving, this breed isn't for you. Bombays are attached to their family, and tend to love the entire family rather than bond with only one person. Fanciers say they are particularly good with children. .
